I covered eagles and hawks at the Tennoji Zoo. At the time, perhaps inspired by Ito Jakuchu, I was prone to old-fashioned screen compositions, and I felt it was time to judge whether they were good or bad after they were completed and rethink a new style of painting.

天王寺動物園にて、鷲や鷹などを取材しました。このころ伊藤若冲に感化されてか、古風な画面構成になりやすく、完成してから良いのか悪いのか判断をして、新たな絵のスタイルを考え直していく時期だと感じてました。
